When placed on a surface anywhere in your home or office, this sleek design resembles a minimalist vase—but the Lexon Oblio is actually an innovative 2-in-1 tech design. The Oblio is not only a discreet charging station for your smartphone, but it also sanitizes it using built-in UV LED technology. The deep bucket-like design of the Oblio also keeps your eyes away from your smartphone screen as it charges and sanitizes—because sometimes you and your phone need a break from each other. Lexon is a manufacturer with work in MoMA’s collection.

When Oblio is successfully powered to an electrical source, the white LED light will light up for a few seconds.

To get your charging station to operate properly, please use a Quick Charge 3.0 certified power adapter or a DC 9V 2A USB power adapter and plug it directly to a wall outlet. Using a different charger or adapter with lower specifications than mentioned may significantly affect the wireless charging performance and cause irreversible damage to your device.
